About Vellappam

Vellappam, a traditional South Indian dish commonly enjoyed in Kerala, is a light and fluffy rice pancake with a crisp lace-like edge. Made from fermented rice batter mixed with coconut milk and a touch of sugar, Vellappam offers a unique balance of flavor and texture. The fermentation process enhances digestibility and increases beneficial probiotics in the dish. Vellappam is naturally gluten-free and provides a good source of energy from its carbohydrate-rich base. The use of coconut milk adds healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides that support heart and brain health. However, its calorie density can vary depending on the amount of coconut milk and accompanying curries. Typically served with mildly spiced stews or vegetable-based side dishes, Vellappam is a wholesome and satisfying meal rooted in Indian culinary traditions. Moderation is key to enjoying this delicacy while maintaining a balanced diet.
